Pastor Craig concluded the Vision & Values series by focusing on loving and forgiving others, grounding the message in John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 13:4–8, which reveal both God’s love for us and the way we are called to love others.
He reminded the church that true transformation flows from encountering God, living changed, and loving well—something only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. Using Jesus as our model, the sermon explored biblical forgiveness as a deliberate, grace-filled release of offense, emphasizing repentance, healing, and boundless forgiveness rooted in God’s character.
Pastor Craig challenged everyone to break cycles of silence, step into honest relationships, and begin fresh conversations with God that lead to freedom from guilt and shame. What might change in your life if you truly learned to love and forgive the way Christ loves and forgives you?
Pastor Doug Brown’s message, “Start Small, but Start Now,” is rooted in Mark 9:14–29 and challenges believers to move beyond theoretical faith into lived obedience. Using the illustration of skydiving, Pastor Doug explains that spiritual growth doesn’t come from simply knowing God’s Word, but from trusting God enough to act on it.
He emphasizes the core principle, “Read it. Believe it. Act on it,” reminding the church that faith requires risk and response. The healing prayers earlier in the service served as a powerful, real-time example of what happens when people step out in faith. What step might God be asking you to take right now—and are you willing to start small, but start now?
Pastor Randy Remington, the Foursquare President, delivered a timely message on the transforming power of kindness, reminding us that the defining characteristic of a follower of Jesus is love expressed through action. Teaching primarily from 1 Corinthians 13 and Galatians 5:22–23, he emphasized that love is not merely a feeling but a behavior—and that kindness is a visible fruit of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.
In a culture often marked by harshness and impatience, Pastor Randy challenged believers to reclaim kindness as a powerful and countercultural witness to the Kingdom of God. He warned that when Christians mirror the unkindness of the world, they present a distorted image of God to those watching. What would change in your relationships, reactions, and daily moments if kindness truly defined your faith?
Pastor Craig launched a new series, Vision and Values, centered on the core value of encountering God, drawing from Proverbs 1:7 as the foundation for understanding who God truly is. He taught that real life change doesn’t come from religion or routine, but from encountering the living God—just as every person who encountered Jesus in Scripture was radically transformed, whether through healing or deep heart change.
A key focus of the message was learning to distinguish what is of God and what is not, especially addressing the misconception that God causes evil or suffering. Pastor Craig contrasted unhealthy fear and anxiety with a holy, healthy fear of God—a reverent awe rooted in His loving and trustworthy character. If our view of God shapes how we approach Him, what kind of God do you believe you’re running toward—or away from?
